Oct. 12 (UPI) -- A flight from Guadalajara to Mexico City was delayed for more than 2 hours due to a mosquito infestation aboard the plane.
Volaris Flight VOI221 was scheduled to depart at 4:30 p.m. local time, but was delayed
until 6:59
p.m. while the flight's crew and passengers attempted to get rid of the insects.
Video recorded by passengers shows the mos- quitos being swat- ted by passengers and sprayed with bug spray by flight attendants.
Passengers aboard the flight
said the mosqui- toes dissipated once the lights were turned off in the passenger compartment.
Guadalajara International Airport is located amid heavy vege- tation and frequent floodwaters, making for an ideal mosquito breeding ground, officials said.
